Empty Translation Memories

Hi everyone,

I have been working on Trados Studio 2021 for the past 3 years and I am now considering upgrading to Trados 2024, since they announced thay will not provide assistance anylore for Trados 2021.

I am on the trial version and have a problem BOTH on my Trados 2021 and the Tial version of Trados 2024 : I was suprised not to have any suggestions for translations where I had already translated very similar or even identigal segments. 

After looking where the problem could come from, I had the idea to open my TMs and a lot of them are simpmly EMPTY....

I tried to delete an empty TM and to create a new one from scartch, by simply opening the concerned .sdlxlii file and clicking sur Create a TM. But I always get an empty TM.

Does anhyone have an idea of what I can do to solve the problem:

1/ Not having empty TMs in the future

2/ creating new functioning TMs for the already translated projects, whose TMs are empty?

Many thanks in advance for your possible help!
